Hey everyone! I'm applying to UPenn this year, and I heard that they interview all applicants. Can anyone confirm if this is true, and if there are exceptions? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! UPenn tries to offer interviews to as many applicants as possible, but it's not guaranteed that every single applicant will receive one. The availability of interviews depends on the number of alumni interviewers in your area and the number of students applying from your region. Generally, a large percentage of applicants do receive an interview, but it's important to remember that not getting an interview does not negatively impact your application.
If you are not offered an interview, UPenn assumes it's due to the lack of alumni interviewers available in your area and won't hold it against you in the admissions process. Just focus on presenting a strong application and rest assured that the absence of an interview won't hinder your chances.
Good luck with your application to UPenn!
